Learning the ropes.

 Hello. Did you like JP, he's a hoot isn't he. A very funny man if you like a bit of micky taking. 

I've found some videos about making rope out of strips of fabric, so that's what I am playing with at the moment. I've got some remnants of bed sheets and duvet covers which I previously used for pet beds, so I am cutting them up. There is a method of twisting two strips and making them into rope, which can then be used for making coasters, place mats, bowls, and even floor mats if you have the patience. 

The twisting can be done while watching a screen or listening to the radio. The strips are one inch wide, I might try it with wider strips to make thicker rope. I will keep going, it's a learning curve. 

Tonight I made a pan of stew. I added some Quorn pieces to the vegetables, and then thickened it with some broccoli and stilton cheese soup mix. It is lovely.

It's been a lovely day, plenty of sunshine so I did my three mile walk around the village, then took Billy a walk. I've opened a bottle of vintage cider tonight.

Thanks for popping in. We'll catch up soon. Toodle pip.  ilona
